Winom-Frazier OHV Trails

The Winom-Frazier OHV Complex is located northeast of the North Fork John Day Wilderness on both the Umatilla and Wallowa-Whitman National Forests. The area is named for it's location near Frazier Meadow and Creek, and Winom Meadows.  Elevations in the riding area vary from 4,600 feet near Cable Creek to 6,900 feet at Tower Mountain. The area provides riders with a full range of difficulty from 'easiest' to 'most difficult'. The trails are also open to horses, hikers and mountain bikes.

Development History

Early development efforts for this OHV trail complex began in the late 1980s following the designation of the North Fork John Day Wilderness. At that time, previous OHV trail use was prohibited in the new wilderness area but still desired by local OHV users and groups like the North West Trail Rider Association. To provide for these riding opportunities, construction grants were submitted by the Umatilla and Wallowa-Whitman National Forests to the Oregon Department of Transportation who administered the grant at that time. In 1990 the first grant was awarded and some of the earlier trails like the Lookout/Little Fly Trail were constructed in 1990, and the Big Ridge Trail in 1991.

Riding Opportunities

There are about 150 miles of trails in the Winom-Frazier area. Trails within the Winom-Frazier area are open to Class I (quads) and Class III (motorcycle) ATVs.  Not every trail is open to both classes as some trails are designated for motorcycle only. In addition, trails allowing Class I vehicles may also allow Class IV (Side by Side) vehicles provided the vehicle is less than 50” wide as measured at the widest point. OHVs wider than 50 inches are prohibited. An Oregon ATV Permit is required to operate an OHV on this area, and other public lands in Oregon.
